I too have just installed MCC 0.97p2 (less than 24 hours ago). Right
now I am using kermit to talk to my Usenet access host, after a little
trial and error. Most probably you problem is that kermit is trying
to talk to the modem with 7 data bits parity on. Try the following
in Kermit:

        set modem hayes
        set line /dev/ttys(whatever)
        set terminal bytesize 8
        set parity none

then try

        connect
        ATZ

the response show be OK from the modem.

Hope this helps.... BTW, when using Kermit I always key the Kermit
manpage running on another virtual console.
